Well, it has not happened. We are going to run out of IPv4 addresses soon, way before any significant IPv6 deployment will have occured. However, the quasi totality of the Internet and most of the computers in the home are still IPv4-only. Several distributed NAT architectures, based on different possible flavors of a carrier-grade NAT, are presented as solutions to maintain some form of connectivity between those home environments and the legacy Internet.}, }
